Socrates

The Art of Questioning

De: JD Arden

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

He was less a philosopher than a living riddle—half trickster, half martyr, faithful to a strange inner voice that refused to be polite. Socrates & The Art of Questioning strips away hagiography and hearsay to show a man who laughed at himself, annoyed the powerful, and put the soul ahead of safety.

This is not a dusty textbook or a cheerleader’s biography. It’s a tight, restless portrait of a thinker who turned questioning into an art form, who weaponized curiosity against complacency, and who made Athens uncomfortable in the only way that counts: by asking better questions. Read for sharp portraits of the witnesses and rivals, for a clear account of the Socratic method, and for practical lessons in skepticism, moral courage, and public life.

For readers who want philosophy that bites and history that teaches, this book is a short, fierce apprenticeship in thinking aloud. Start here if you want to be less certain and more honest about why you hold your beliefs.
